The 10.9" long Rode SC11 is a TRS Y-splitter cable designed for connecting the mono outputs of two devices such as camera-mount microphones or wireless receivers to the stereo input of a mirrorless camera, DSLR, or camcorder. It is wired to send each connected source to a separate channel rather than summing them to mono.

It features two right-angle 3.5mm TRS plugs for your mics/receivers and one right-angle plug for your camera input. The SC11 can be paired with the separately available Rode DCS-1 dual cold shoe mount to create a straightforward and effective solution for mounting and cabling two mics or receivers atop your camera.

Q: 1. The previous model H1N fails to keep the date and time once the batteries are removed. It also tends to drain the batteries when sitting on the shelf for even a few days. Does the new one fix this issue at all? Its annoying to have to change the batteries/set the date and time every time I use the device.

A: After consulting with Zoom engineers on the matter, it seems your specific model may be defective- as the issues you have described are out of the ordinary. You may contact Zoom customer service (Tel 631.542.5270) for details on a warranty exchange. The new H1N will retain the date and time as well, even when the batteries are removed. Batteries are not depleted when not in use and stored away for days a time.

Q: 2. wanting to use two lav mics requiring plug in power with single h1n unit; will a simple passive 1/8" splitter work for this and record each to separate track? thanks

A: No that will not work. The closest solution I am aware of that would get you one voice recorded on the left and the other on the right would be the Polsen OLM-20. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1025888-REG/polsen_olm_20_dual_omni_lav.html

Q: 3. I need to digitize reel to reel tapes from an old player/recorder. Can this do that? How would it connect, and would I need an interface or would it give decent quality without?

A: This protable recoder does have a line input , so you could come out of the reel ro reel player andinto this unit. I am not failiar with what type of output connection is on those units, but a cable such as this could work if you have stereo RCA connections: Comprehensive 10' Stereo 3.5mm Male to Dual RCA Male Y-Cable, BH #COMPS2PP10ST. You would get good qaulity files on a micro SD card with the Zomme H1N. These files could then be imported into a computer and then burned on to CD's or put onto a mobile device to play back.

Q: 4. in every article about zoom recorders for ambient recording it is recommended with different microphones. Whats wrong with the built in mics? if useless what are they for?

Q: 5. Can I input two lavaliers using a stereo Y-connector to 1/8 AND have the mics each recorded on their own track (Mic #1 - Left Channel' Mic #2 - Right channel)... to clarify, I don't want the two lavaliers to be mixed on a single track or mixed on both tracks. (*one for each track) ?

A: Yes. You can use a mini mixer like the Saramonic AX1 Passive 2-Channel Audio Mixer for Cameras, Smartphones, Tablets, and Computers (B&H # SAAX1). Since the AX1 is passive and does not supply plug-in power for microphones, you will need to use microphones that do not require any voltage, like a condenser mic that has a battery, a wireless mic system, or a dynamic mic. The Polsen OLM-10 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # POOLM10) has its own battery for power and could be a good option. As another option for a very simple setup, you could use a dual lavalier mic setup like the Polsen OLM-20 Dual Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (B&H # POOLM20) which has two mics for left and right connected to one 3.5mm TRS plug and will automatically route each mic to the separate channels.

Q: 6. I use a Microphone Madness MM-MSLM Omnidirectional MatchStick Lapel Microphone (Black) with the Zoom H1N. Are there any adapters that I should have between the two or can the mic just plug into the recorder?

A: You will probably need the Rode SC3 3.5mm TRRS to TRS Adapter for smartLav in order to plug a lapel mic into the unit.

Q: 7. Can someone recommend a dead cat that will fit this?

A: You can use the Zoom WSU-1 Hairy Windscreen (B&H # ZOZWSU1) or the Rycote Zoom H1n Mini Windjammer (B&H # RY055471) for the built-in X/Y mic on the Zoom H1n recorder.

Q: 8. Does it record every touch when use internal mic? That was a big disadvantage of H1. Is it fixed now?

A: The handling noise is going to be about the same. because the microphones are not shock-mounted.

Q: 9. Does it come with rechargable battaries?

A: No. It comes with 2xAAA batteries. You might be able to use rechargeable AAAs instead, but you'll have to charge them on an external charger. You can't use the H1n for that.

Q: 10. What is the Quickest time / Shortest time from the recorder being Off to recording?

A: Regarding the Zoom H1n 2-Input / 2-Track Portable Handy Recorder with Onboard X/Y Microphone (Black), the time it takes from being off to recording would depend on the capacity of the microSD card you are using. The more memory your card has, the longer the H1n will take to index the stored files before the device is ready to use.
